“It is a different atmosphere,” he said after the Whites’ 2-0 win. “It was intense here. That is the way their supporters are and as a player you have to block them out. It was interesting for me, it was a little crazy.

“In the USA, you have one small section that gets into it and tries to get everyone else into it, but here you have everyone yelling.

the sporting landscape in he US will always be different. It would be great if one day it could be loud, but I just dont see it happening. R\Especially when teams are trying to price out the diehard fan.

it ain't much different when you go to some college football or basketball games.

in the end, the older you get, the less inclined you are to participate.

Europeans sing and chant at every one of their sporting events. I've watched them sing at ice hockey games. We don't really have that at American sporting events, because it isn't part of our sporting culture.

Playoffs are stupid in soccer and I don't care if that hurts your feelings.

meh...

I've been to many matches in England where you could hear crickets...

Millwall sucks at football, their claim to fame is their shitty supporters, they just try as hard as possible to be nasty.

Ream acknowledged the SW, its just that the rest of the stadium doesnt join in. Also, when the reporter asked if there was a "big" difference between the quality of MLS and the EPL, he downplayed the difference.

He hasn't even played an away WC qualifier yet... Ream has much to see.

I too have been to the Emirates and the Cottage this year. Arsenal fans seemingly know only one chant. At the cottage I saw in the Home end and only a group of like 30 people were vocal the whole game the only time the crowd got into it was when C'mon Fullham would start and only last 30seconds or so. But yea most prem teams can't hold a candle to the SW.

That and it has gotten very expensive it cost me almost 50 USD at Fullham and they were the cheapest seats available and Fullham is cheaper than most clubs when it comes to ticket prices.

This is why the Bundesliga in Germany is still the best league to watch football out of the big leagues in Europe. LArge Stadiums, moderate prices, and the best atmosphere in Europe for the bigger leagues.
